In car TV
I've been looking at putting an LCD screen in the XC60 dash when I finally take delivery. I didnt opt for Sat Nav as I dont really have a major use for it as I have a Garmin Nuvi when required.
I've opted for High performance audio with the subs. So I want to try to integrate a screen in the hole in the dash and link to stereo input in the centre console. Any current owners tried this or have any ideas what size screen would actually fit ? I'd guess 7" LCD but will only know better once I have the XC60 to really start messing around. Any suggestions or ideas ??? Pictures would be even better ! cheers Andy

Andy,
Possible point to watch is that I recall that any TV or similar display had to be out of the drivers vision or disabled automatically when the car is moving. This was the case a few years ago, the regs may have relaxed since then, but I suggest that you check as if you contravene such regulations then your insurance will be void - even if the TV was not on at the time (they will say that it was on at the time of any incident and that might be difficult to disprove) |
